@Chris...thank you!!! I LOVE brown eyes, but often, they can look "sad", sometimes I think Mishka looks sad in her pics

@Erica...thank you!!! I'd give anything to get some snow pics of my two like you can, BUT, I do enjoy California weather, lol. It has been cold though at night/mornings (in the 30's and 40's!!!) and I'm not liking it at all, I say if it has to be that cold, give me some snow! Hahaha. ---hope you guys are doing a little better, I know, wishful thinking, I know how it is, just try and keep your head up, ok.

@Doray...thank you!!! We don't have Christmas display contests here, but man, I did get tons of compliments. I have been really surprised at how many people stopped me to compliment the yard! (And kinda spooked so many people know where I live, LOLOL) the huskies are definitely a hit with people and thank you ! I got a few more between Christmas Eve and Christmas so I'll post them right now, they really enjoyed Christmas and having me home

Mishka and her Christmas loot

Kohdi with one of his gifts...I discovered a setting on the camera, macro something, so I tried it with this pic. I don't like it.

@Chris. Thank you, I love those shots. She sat there Christmas morning and I just thought the whole image was so pretty, I'm glad the pics turned out. I got a good pic of Kohdi too, by the deep end of the pool, but in one, I cut off his reflection in the other, his reflection was crystal clear...but the sun bleached out much of Kohdi's details. Weird.

OMG! Finally got to see all these pictures! Where have I been? These pictures are lovely and they capture both of their personalities. I am very jealous of how photogenic they are. Most of my pictures of Kota and Kuky is that they are sleeping because that is all they do. lol.

@amymeme ...Thank you so much Amy! My pics are mostly luck though, I don't know enough about the camera settings to take really good pics. Like, I find stuff on accident, like the other day I found a macro mode by accidently pushing the wrong button, lol. One day I'll be good though!

@DarkDiamond ...Thank you so much Graham! Your two actually remind me A LOT of my two, only in black and white, lol. And danggggggg that's cold! I couldn't live under those conditions, my butt freezes when it's in the 30's and 40's! At the moment, we are having our warmest and driest winter, it's still getting cold at night but nowhere near the rest of the country. Weird with Mishka and Ziva's sitting...I always worry when Mishka just sits for no reason, that's how all her UTI's started so it makes me think she's uncomfortable and sitting is the only way to feel better.

@IamtheAlpha...Thank you so much LoAn! Mishka used to be my Tazmanian devil with pics, every pic, she'd be just a blur, or completely out of the shot, LOLOL. I'm glad she's calmed down some but she still is pretty famous for her eyes closed and tongue out pics at just the right moments.

I see you are a property manager too ( stalking through the whole thread xD ) Best of luck for the next month. Don't know if its the same over there, but busiest time of the year for us down here in Aus.

Your pups are stunning! I am a sucker for those gorgeous brown eyes and their faces! <3 All those Christmas shots are fantastic too! They are sitting so patiently!

@loki_said_smile ...I don't think we have a slow time here, lol. We supposedly have a housing shortage here, so vacancies are snatched up fast. I say "supposedly" because I just feel homes here are overpriced, making people have to rent

Thank you so much! I love brown eyes myself, but I'll take a husky with whatever etes it comes with. I've had brown eyes, bi-eyes, now Kohdi's parti-eyes, I have yet to have the blue eyes though. And yes, they were indeed patient for the Christmas pics, but in total, they were only out there 10 minutes total, times two days. I learned its take pics fast, haha.

@RedFlashFire05 ...thank you Ronin! The flowers pics are just her keeping me company on the patio. She hops up there when I sit there, and lays there to keep me company. I always look at her and think she looks so pretty with those flowers so I take pics

she is having fun at the vet, is so cute counter surfing. Leo goes crazy for treats when we go. an people give us the wired looks cause he is always happy to go to the vet. wail everyone's else is pup is hiding under the chairs or the corners of the room.

@Ronin...hahaha, exactly! I even get compliments from the receptionists about it being nice to see such happy dogs at the vet, lol. First thing Kohdi does when walking thru the door, is stand up, with his paws on the counter and woo woo to the receptionists

@Chris...yeah, mine don't lick the tech when getting a shot, lol. That's pretty cute. And that would be amazing to have a meet with all 4!!!

Another shot of these two at the vet. Kohdi being the lookout while Mishka tries to swipe the treats

Mishka today, being her cute little self yes <sighs> more reflection pics, I'm not doing it on purpose, they've been spending more time in different parts of the yard lately, and many reflections will show up in the pool, so if I think they're cool looking, I leave them instead of cropping the pic
